It's been widely reported that the tests conducted by the IBA proved that they were both genetically male (XY). To deny that at this point would be pure solipsism or gaslighting. Maybe I'm a bit thick but I surmise the reason that we have segregation in toilets, changing rooms, prisons and sports is due to biology, not how people feel, dress or act. Personally, I don't believe we should have segregation by sex in sport. Why should the best woman have more money and fame than the second best man? It's sexist and outdated.

FYI for those who are considering long term stays with B2B 60 day exemptions... I arrived back at BKK last Saturday night, after an 8 day stay in Cambodia. Immigration wasn't too busy but entirely staffed by the female of the species. Maybe I made a mistake in walking to the end and joining the shortest queue (3 people) as the person in front of me was knocked back and, as I learnt later, the person in front of them was subject to the same treatment. The I/O shouted at me 'how long you stay Thailand'. Since her English was so poor as not to indicate past or future, I mumbled something about staying with my family. A button was pressed and I was, again rather rudely, told to stand aside. Another lady escorted me to some office cubicles in front of passport control and told me to sit down in the waiting area. When I was called up the lady was very nice and polite. She asked why I didn't have a visa and I explained that I planned to get one (hence the longer stay in Cambodia) but as the 30 day exemption had recently changed to 60 days, I felt it unnecessary; she told me to get a 'visa' next time. I further explained that I was staying with family and showed her my wife's address via the TM30 I luckily had on my phone. She then hand wrote the expiry date on my 'stamp' and escorted me through to the other side. There were no questions asked about funds or onward ticket and nothing else was written in my passport. Relevant history. Worked in China for 6 years, with occasional visits to Thailand, until April 2024. Since then two 30 day stamps + 30 day extensions. British nationality, English ethnicity, dressed like a slob 🙂

Seems to be the cycle of modern life in multicultural England. The Brixton race riots in the 1980s were sparked by an event that (highly likely) wasn't race related but was the catalyst. A rumour about a white man throwing something through the front door of a house where black people were having a party. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Cross_house_fire Similarly, the race riots after George Floyd was killed released underlying tensions about police brutality against black people, even though it had nothing to do with race. Fast forward...I think the murders of the little girls in Southport was a catalyst for the underlying tensions about mass immigration and its effects on England.

Great! What are her policies? All I've heard in the news is the colour of her skin and type of genitalia.

Who are the the experts?

Cigarettes are crushed tobacco leaves formed into a cylinder using paper. Tobacco contains a highly addictive drug called nicotine. Consider yourself levelled-up

RIP 🙏

Not sure what the delay on the '60 day' is...we know it can't be incompetence 😇 Low season began (roughly) 3 months ago so you'd think there might be some urgency. The way things are going, it won't be introduced until high season...which is exactly the time that it's not needed My (extended) 30 day stamp runs out on Friday. I'll be spending a week in Cambodia again but, as I will have been here for 4 months on B2B exemptions, I'm left pissing in the wind as to whether I should get a bona-fide TR visa or wait for the new exemption to kick in 😔 These are the days...

Apparently the shooter said 'I'll get my coat' one second before the bullet hit him 🙂

Henry VII succeeded Henry VIII 🤣

I used to use the pump dispenser type when I worked in China. No fiddly caps and less wastage...can't seem to find them in Thailand though.

Yup. 2 idiots don't make a 1 genius...they make a person that's twice as stupid.

No, my argument is against your claim that Trump was responsible for the reduction in unemployment after 2016, which reduced at the same rate for 4 years before he was president and 4 years after he was president.

It's a crying shame that your ability to comprehend more than one variable isn't perfect. Unemployment was at an all time high after the global financial crisis, credit crunch, whatever during 2009/2010. Only a simpleton would think that the reduction in unemployment over the next 10 years was due to any president; what else could it do? Trump simply rode the coat-tails of history. He was elected at the mid point of the reduction in unemployment. In fact, the rate of change in unemployment stayed the same before and after he was elected. You can obviously see this from the (negative) gradient of the graph.

Winston Churchill was a great leader, during war and in his time. Shall we dig up his corpse and let the administration of the day attach strings to his body and manipulate him for their own ends? As for Trump...he's still the old Trump he always was. If he decides to implement any policy that's even slightly crazy it'll be struck down, in even, the lower courts. Such are the checks and balances in the good 'ol USA. Joking aside, how has the choice for the leader of the free world become a choice between a lunatic and a corpse? This is why I voted brexit. I didn't want the EU to become the USA.

It's quite simple. The rate of change of speed is dv/dt, or the second derivative of displacement. The rate of change of temperature is dT/dt. Should you keep increasing the speed (rate of change of displacement with time) of your car because you've always gone faster and slower? Should you keep increasing the rate of change of temperature because it's always been lower or higher? If you can't fathom this basic analogy then there is simply no hope of you understanding the complexities of global warming / climate change.

Interesting website. Although I wonder how many people would know to go there, never mind filling in the extensive 3 page forms, after dismissing the advice given by their own government and Thai representatives?

Like an introductory book on Calculus?

Where should people look to get these 'confirmed reports'? Your own government's travel advice website? Thai embassy / consulate websites? The vast majority of these were 'updated' to show that, from 1st June, travellers would receive 60 days under the visa exemption scheme.

The very antithesis of empirical science. Have you 'noticed' an increase or decrease in the number of polar bears outside your house during the past 60 years? 🤔

The top speed of most cars wasn't really my point. It's called an analogy. Nobody is arguing that global temperatures haven't changed 'in eons' It's the rate of change (increase) that's unprecedented, just like the rate of increase in speed of cars 🙂 Also bear in mind that the difference in maximum and minimum temperatures during the 'ice age' is about 6C so an increase of 1.5C is quite substantial.

Speed fluctuations have been going on for eons so why not drive your car everywhere at 200 mph?
